Not one of these gentlemen needs to be taken care of. and it is not proper that we should provide for the payment of such sums to a commission that may run along year after year. I am also told personally that the commission will last but a short time. We were told that In regard to the Immigration Commission. It was said also of the Commission on Revision of the Laws. that existed for years and years and had to be finally stopped. after quite an effort. by an act of Congress. So I insist that we owe it to ourselves to prevent this sort of an expenditure. They may not be great in any particular case. although the immigration matter is a large matter. but in their aggregate they help to make up a very large sum. and there are enough legitimate expenditures of the Government to warrant us in curtailing all these unnecessary expenditures. Now. we are deprived on this side of any opportunity of making a point of order against any of these provisions. or to move to strike them out. or to have any real discussion. We are required either to vote for the whole bill or to vote against the whole bill. and there has been no excuse given for forcing this parliamentary situation upon the House.
